Brandon closed it out in double OT. Full marks to the Oil Kings who played one of the most competitive 5 game series I've seen. WK goalie Jordan Papirney was tremendous all series, stopped 180 of 191 shots throughout the five games. Without his performance, it could have easily been upset central for Edmonton.
Cool story for John Quennville to score the OT series winner as a local Edmonton boy. He was great all series.
Brandon moves on to play Regina in round 2. The Wheat Kings won the season series 6-3 and should be pretty heavy favourites. Brandon and Calgary could be on a crash course for the ECF which is always alot of fun when those two teams get together in the playoffs. Still a long way to go though obviously..
